Cartoon Network has revealed their plans for several new programs during its Annual Upfront presentation at New York's Time Warner Center. They plan on delivering a wide variety of programing for all ages. They will have twenty-five new series, movies and specials along with thirteen returning series. The one that most likely will catch your interest right away is Young Justice, which we announced back in February.
In Young Justice, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over—to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a teenage super hero? Are you ready to join the ranks of the great heroes and prove you’re worthy of the Justice League? That’s exactly what the members of Young Justice—Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis—will found out, whether they have what it takes to be a proven hero. This all-new series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon characters from DC Comics. Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) is the executive producer. Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under the Red Hood, Superman Doomsday, The Batman) and Greg Weisman (Gargoyles, The Spectacular Spider-Man, W.I.T.C.H.) are the producers.
What else can we expect? There will be a MAD show based on the magazine and produced by Warner Bros. It will be an animated sketch-comedy series and feature such characters as Alfred E. Neuman and Spy Vs. Spy. We will also see The Looney Tunes Show, a half-hour animated comedy series. Bugs and Daffy are no longer confined to 7-minute shorts. You can expect all your favorites to pop up.

Series that will be debuting soon include Ben 10: Ultimate Alien featuring 16-year-old Ben Tennyson. Generator Rex comes from the creators of Ben 10 ( Joe Casey, Joe Kelley, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle) and has a young super agent who has the ability to create mechanical weapons and vehicles from his own body. There will also be Sym-Bionic Titan from creator Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack) and features a hybrid of giant robot battles and high school comedy. Three alien teenagers crash land on Earth and have to protect their new home from alien invaders. And we will also see Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated, a new animated feature with the gang back solving the mysteries of Crystal Cove.
Firebreather, an original all-CG animation based on and co-executive-produced by Phil Hester. There will be another live-action Scooby-Doo movie with Scooby Doo! Curse Of The Lake Monster.
Returning shows include:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Dude, What Would Happen, Destroy Build Destroy, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Flapjack, Johnny Test, 6teen, Stoked, Bakugan, Pokémon, Battle Force 5, Pink Panther & Pal and Totally Spies. Doesn't look like The Secret Saturdays made it. That's too bad.
There were some more shows announced. It looks like we have a lot to look forward to on Cartoon Network.
